Bafana’s Afcon exit forces early league start
January 13, 2026
|The Star
THE PSL Betway Premiership will resume earlier than initially scheduled, with fixtures starting next Monday rather than the previously planned Tuesday.
This shift follows Bafana Bafana’ early exit from the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals in Morocco, enabling a swift return to domestic football.
Following a disappointing 2-1 round-of-16 loss to Cameroon, the national team has returned home earlier than expected, giving local clubs a two-week window to recover before the competitive resumption.
The unplanned break is particularly timely for teams such as Orlando Pirates, which boasts a significant representation in the national squad.
The rest period allows players to recover from chronic injuries, ensuring they are fit for upcoming league matches.
Sundowns’ fixture change against newly promoted Orbit College, from Tuesday to Monday, is a strategic adjustment ahead of their African Champions League encounter against Al Hilal of Sudan on Friday, January 23.
